Synthetic Slate and ShakeHighly Sustainable | Tested Performance | Proven Longevity | Uncompromised Beauty
Thank you for your interest in EcoStar.
EcoStar was established in 1993 to meet the need for a recycled synthetic alternative to natural slate roofing. That need led to the manufacture of our first line of synthetic product – Majestic Slate. For more than 20 years, we have been dedicated to protecting precious natural resources by offering our discerning customers products made with recycled plastic and rubber.
Since then, we have expanded our product lines to include Seneca Shake, a synthetic wood shake, and our innovative, energy-saving Empire product lines. Now, EcoStar is excited to introduce its newest product – Niagara Slate. Niagara Slate is our largest synthetic slate roofing tile that is 5/8" thick and comes in 12" or 14" widths, offering an enhanced shadow line. The 14" Niagara tile offers 40%+ more coverage than Majestic Slate 12" Traditional tiles for an even greater aesthetic appeal.
Many satisfied commercial and residential customers have realized the benefit of adding a durable, environmentally friendly roof that provides unique architectural appeal. We hope you will enjoy the many benefits of an EcoStar roof.

The Maximum Appeal of Niagara SlateBigger is better when it comes to EcoStar’s latest innovation. Niagara Slate is a natural-looking, 5/8" thick, synthetic slate roofing tile produced in 12" and 14" widths. The 14" tile offers 40%+ more coverage and the 12" tile offers 20%+ more coverage than our Majestic Slate 12" Traditional tile for an even greater aesthetic appeal.
The added size allows each Niagara Slate 14" tile to cover one square foot of roof deck at the 10" exposure (100 tile/square) while maintaining a minimum 2" of headlap throughout. An additional 9" exposure option allows for the creation of unique looks using staggered or random width offset installations.
This design consumes less raw material, reduces roof load by up to 20% and lowers installation labor by 30%. Niagara Slate is available in our Majestic and Empire lines. Majestic Niagara Slate is manufactured from 80% post-industrial recycled materials and Empire Niagara Slate is manufactured from 25% post-industrial recycled materials.
EcoStar roofing tiles, including the larger Niagara Slate, provide long-lasting durability, superior protection against extreme weather conditions and 50 years of warranty coverage.

“Due to the shrinking supply and increasing cost of quality red cedar shake, we
were concerned we wouldn’t be able to maintain the historic look of one of our
Greenfield Historical Society buildings. Thanks to EcoStar synthetic shake, we
were able to install a roof that not only matched the aesthetic appeal of natural
cedar, but included recycled content and a 50-year warranty!”
- Bob Roesler, President Greenfield Historical Society
